Yes, systematic oppression is displayed in the novel "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. This is seen in the chapter titled "Sisters, Like Mornings, are Soft."
In this chapter, the main character, Junior, describes how his mother's geometry textbook is outdated and falling apart. The school cannot afford new textbooks for the students on the reservation, so they are given outdated and insufficient materials. This demonstrates how the school system, as a part of the larger system of oppression, fails to provide adequate resources and opportunities for Native American students. It highlights the inequality and systemic discrimination faced by Junior and other Native American students.
